Brookings Institution: Green Industries Employ More Americans than Fossil Fuels

By Shel Horowitz—Green/Ethical Business Expert Posted on August 27, 2011 Posted in Abundance and Prosperity, Energy & Sustainability, Entrepreneurship, Green Business Tagged with green business, green jobs, jobs in fossil fuels, jobs in green sector, us economy
